  1. No because my point is if Bergevin is looking to trade for a top D and the team he's talking to needs and ask for Domi, don't you think he would agree to it since we're strong at center. Or is he going to say oh no forget it i am putting my centers at wing. Doesn't make sense. THAT's THE POINT, if there's a player he's trying to trade for and the only way to get him is to give up Domi he will do it. Oh and why don't you ask Edmonton how while your way of thinking works. They've been doing that the last what 8 years with the all their forwards.
  2. Wow what don't people get...... We have Danault, Domi, Kotkaniemi, Suzuki and poehling that are centers. If Bergevin is looking for a top LD and the team he's talking to needs a center to get the deal done , out of the 5 Domi would probably be the most likely to be trade. Thats what this discussion is about. My god whys that so hard to understand. Shit you bring up someone's name and all of a sudden the stat police come out.
  3. You're not listening, we didn't want to trade Pacioretty but had too. He was our best opinion to get back what we needed to fill holes. We find ourselves in a similar situation with our centers. Which is why I compared it to Pacioretty. Out of our centers if we were to trade one of them it would be between Domi and Poehling. Domi would be the one giving us the higher return then Poehling.
  4. No I Ment the situation, we traded Pacioretty because he would give us the higher return . Domi right now out of the centers we have other than Danault we give us the higher trade return. Suzuki, Kotkaniemi, poehling are still young. Can't capitalize on their trade value unless you package them with someone or picks. But domi alone could get you a higher return if you don't want to pay him.
  5. Domi is kind of like Pacioretty, we didn't want to trade him, but he was Bergevin best option to get a high return on. If Domi wants around 7mil a year I think Bergevin going to trade him rather than pay him. But if he's around 5.5mil a year he stays as a habs.
  6. Price , I am sure you get it. You're just trying to get a certain type of reaction.
  7. Good for him, never should of drafted him in the first round, but good on him.
  8. Didn't even think he was still playing in the NHL
  9. Don't go there with some of these guys, just don't go there .................
  10. It gets you an elite player that if you do it properly can build a championship team around. But one player doesn't win you championships, which a lot of gm's don't understand including ours.
  11. This is why I have been saying we should be trying to be a lottery pick team this year and not trying for a playoff spot. But once our players come back from injury, this team will end up picking 15th again instead of in the top 5.
  12. Wonder what a package of Byron and Petry could land us. Both guys would add depth to any playoff run
  13. I think Bergevin needs to make a decision on where to go next year first. If he thinks this is a playoff team, then i don't see him trading anyone that's under contract still. If he feels that we continue to stay young , then yeah you trade guys like Tatar, Petry and listen to what's out there for price and weber.
  14. Ok so you think we're not close to winning a cup, and you want young talent but yet you don't want to go through the pains of losing and becoming a lottery pick team to get that top talent you talk about. And your ok with being a bubble team, makes no sense to me.
  15. Gainey when gm of Dallas traded away a young prospects in the name of jarome iginla for a Proven NHL forward in Joe Nieuwendyk and that helped them win a cup. As a gm you have to take gambles when it comes to trade.
  16. First off that trade was for Raycroft. Toronto was trying to win now and thought raycroft who just won rookie of the year was the better goaltender to go forward with. So its not like he just traded a goaltender because he had two. Think of that trade like the Subban/Weber trade. We traded the young player for an older player who Bergevin thought could help the team win more.
  17. Oh I agree, I am not looking to trade those guys if I am planning on this team next year to challenge for a playoff spot next year. With Domi I guess you would have to ask....1) which center's are we going to keep moving forward. 2) which center is going to give you the highest return in a trade. Danault Domi Kotkaniemi Suzuki Poehling Out of those who's the guy you're willing to trade that would give you a great return to fill a need. The need a puck moving defensemen on the left or right side if we trade petry. So package a-- Domi+Byron Or package b-- poehling +Byron I don't think the other guys are going anywhere, so I think its going to be between domi and poehling. If domi is going to want too much money he could be the one traded.
  18. If you Are going to trade guys like Domi, Tatar, Petry.... I wouldn't ask for 1st round picks this year , but I would ask for 1st round picks next year. You never know what is going to happen in a season, look at Ottawa for an example. They could get 2 top 10 picks because they got the sharks 1st pick this year. It doesn't always workout that way but you just never know with this game.
  19. Yes it does, you asked who cares about the media and why its a factor. The media is a factor in who becomes GM and coach. Thats why the GM and coach in Montreal has to be French, its because of the media.
  20. The media plays a big factor in the team when it comes to GM and coach.
  21. The media won't shut up until there's a wining team on the ice.
  22. I think that's over payment. It looks like Detroit might get the first pick but with the draft lottery you just never know anyone of the bottom 3 team's could get it. With that being said you can't offer a trade unless you know what team it is and if we have what they need.
  23. Yeah why ..... Because teams stayed away from Caufield's size and he slide out of top 10. if you actually look at our picks after 15 from Montreal only 2 have made an impact in the NHL Pacioretty and Mcdonagh. Its still hard to say what Poehling is going to be.
  24. No they're not. We got a good team they just need some key players. What needs to happen is Bergevin needs to determine what we are and what path to continue on. Path 1) if he thinks this is a playoff team, then the reset should be over, and he should be adding talent to it to help win now and be a contender. Path 2) if he still wants to go young and not worried about the playoffs. Then say its a rebuild and trade guys like price, weber, Tatar, petry. Become a lottery pick team and go young. We can't stay the path of a bubble team.
